Ok, so today i was learning some new tricks (spins) and my shins hurt like a bitch now. I have some Salomon Performa 5.0 boots that aren't half bad. Should I tighten them a lot? I know it's from landing too far backseat and too far forward, but what should i do with my boots? Should i tighten them a lot so there's absolutely no movement in my boot? Loosen them? They were kinda loose today so i think that might be the problem. Any help would kick ass.

Go Big or go home. Life isn't a dress rehearsal, it's opening night.

dude i got the same boots and at the beggining of the season i got shin-bang everynite. i found if you leave your boots loose, like 1st setting on every clip in the morning..but then when you go in for lunch or whatever unstrap, take your feet out for 5-10mins while you eat.! ok so then when you go put them back in to head out for the after noon, keep your boots stiff, like as tight as you can get them on the 4 clips!!

later dude

have your boots tighten down nice and firm so your legs cannot crash on the tongue. also, perfecting how you land nice and centered is the best way to prevent shin bang altogether.

 
My boots have never given me shin bang.

They fit so snug and warm like a kitten LIKE A KITTEN.

If I take them off during lunch, I can't get them back on, cause the foan expands when they heat up...

But that's like all boots. They fit nice though.

I do them up tight up top, then loose on bottom.

Line up the groove in the tongue of the boot properly with your shin bone too.

 
i used to get bad shin bang from doing stupid shit like overshooting landings, just learn to land good with ur hands out and front, and dont loosen ur boots cause one bad landing and ur fucked
